Thewizard Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I saw someone at the GE today playing the "dungeoneering cape game". The emote randomly turns you into a mage, melee, or range form if you have no attack bonuses. So I wondered if you put of a ring (berserker/archer/seers) to give you bonuses in that attack skill so that the better never gets it right. Is this possible? He also wouldn't know that you're doing this becuase you can't see equiped rings. Any thoughts?

xSxqPowerx Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 My understanding is that it is based on the type of weapon you're wielding, not the attack bonus... but I guess I could be wrong. I do not understand the sudden trend with betting games... there is no way enough people are willing to put there money into losing odds that all of these "game" hosts are making any profit, not to mention the risk of getting straight up scammed.

The Dark Lord Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 What about a toad cannon game? Basically you bet what colour toad was shot out of someone's cannon from Mourning's Ends. I do not understand the sudden trend with betting games... there is no way enough people are willing to put there money into losing odds that all of these "game" hosts are making any profit, not to mention the risk of getting straight up scammed. My friend was making upwards of 10-20M/day off of the Flower Game some weeks ago. Believe it or not, but people ARE stupid enough to bet. The trick to making any decent profit is to actually pay out, but you need to have the odds to where you basically make money no matter what. My friend would have someone bet 1M, and if they won, they were paid 800k. LOL. People are dumb. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

I seem to think that it is the bonus, because a chaotic staff with do a melee emote due to the fact that its melee bonuses are higher than its mage.

Star_Fox Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 This is exactly like the flower, dice, easter egg game except you have a greater chance of winning due to the odds given are only 1 out of 3. It's nothing different then an ordinary gameof betting. Sheesh people, think outside the box for once. <_< One problem though may be equiping melee/magic/ranged based items can alter the chances of succeeding.ex: putting on a melee based weapon is guaranteed a primal melee set emote. So yeah. Nota good idea if the guest doesn't know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it P.T Barnum that said a "sucker was born every minute"? :unsure: Surely, there's something in the "greed factor" of would be players that think they can get something for nothing that draws them to these types of games? I don't pretend to see their appeal either, but there's so many variations suddenly popping up everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The emote changes by your bonuses. So yes, wielding an archers/zerker/seers ring would work. I might have some fun with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
